The Hills and Laguna Beach were, for better or worse, two of the most defining reality TV shows ever. Without them, there'd be no TOWIE or Made in Chelsea, and Natasha Bedingfield probably bought a mansion or two thanks to 'Unwritten' being the theme music.

What we're saying is, we're feeling a bit nostalgic for when reality shows were a bit more... mid-2000s, which is entirely down to this nostalgia-fuelling reunion photo of Kristin Cavallari and Stephen Colletti.

"2004 or 2020?!" she wrote alongside the image, and honestly, the pic is so grainy and low-res that we aren't entirely sure, but we're pretty sure it's from now (or at least this year, when hugging was still allowed).

The pair were famously part of a love triangle on the show that also involved Lauren Conrad, and while Cavallari has claimed that a lot of it was played up for the cameras, her dislike of Conrad was very real.

After the show, they went their separate ways. Cavallari stayed in reality TV and launched a business, while Colletti tried his hand at acting.

She married American footballer Jay Cutler in 2013, and welcomed three kids with him, but they divorced earlier this year.

The Hills returned for a revival season last year, with a second one greenlit by MTV. Outlets reported that Mischa Barton had been axed, but she has strongly denied there is any truth to those claims.
